# Grade simulator

Enter the grades you expect, such as A or B+, and see what your grade point average and academic status would be. A simulation does not change your real grades.

## Simulate your grades

1. Open the ☰ menu and tap **Simulating Grade**.
2. Tap the **Semester** field and choose a semester. The subjects you enrolled in that semester appear.
3. For each subject, tap the **Grade** field and choose the grade you expect.
4. Tap **Start grade simulation**.
5. The **Grade simulation** box shows under the button.

The grades in the **Grade** field depend on the subject's registration type. A Credit subject offers A to E and symbols such as I, S, U, W and X. An Audit subject offers S, U, I or W.

The **Grade simulation** box shows the following.

* The academic status you would have.
* **Semester summary**. The credits you enrolled in, the grade points and the grade point average for that semester.

You can change grades and tap **Start grade simulation** again as often as you like.

{% hint style="info" %}
The system fills in a starting grade for every subject. A withdrawn subject shows W and cannot be changed.

## Messages you may see

* **No subjects to simulate** means the chosen semester has no enrolled subjects. Choose another semester.
* **The simulation could not be calculated. Check that every subject has a grade and try again.** Choose a grade for every subject, then tap **Start grade simulation** again.
